I hope TikTok will be gone for good…I’m tired of their stupid “trends” if you can even call them that, just plain stupidity at its finest

[dominicr]

A well lit area? What a laugh! The kid still stole it and took whatever he could!

[kylohurtado]

I think some people should be permanently banned from social media or internet access. It amplifiies thier stupidity 🙄

[xLA]

That's crazy, in my hood we too have a challenge going on. It's called, "kill thieves on sight."

[mrchsehed]

Honestly if these kids happen to come across someone violent, I have no pity for them

It's amazing that tiktok is the issue here, if at that age you still don't know what's right and wrong, then you're the problem. Not the platform you watched it from.

The guy "grew up in a rough n." and left his WALLET in his car in the driveway???

Thanks Internet, Thanks Tik Tok, Thanks USB Cellphone Chargers, Thanks Kia and Hyundai! Thanks Technology/Thieves for a crime well done.

How about we stop calling destructive, illegal acts "challenges" or "pranks" or "trends" . Let's stop sanitizing and "making cute" evil crap. Let's call evil crap, evil crap and be done with this whole mealy mouthed candy coating of insanity.

I know a great tiktok challenge. Go to school, stay in school. You never know, you might live a full life.

Then TikTok should be held responsible for allowing trends like this that promote crime and dangerous situations to their "community".
Sue the hell out of them(TikTok).

[rzn]

Challenge them to get a job and a life.
I bet you none of them would actually win the challenge.

[rashaudbell]

I’m also a victim and Tim tic doesn’t take this “challenge” trend down, they can get sued for approved of this action.

This happened to us on Mother’s Day. The Hyundai alarm didn’t go off!!!

People, earn money the right way!

Tik Tok truly changes my view on humanity as a whole...

[laventadoralindog]

If that person did that on my CaR and i caught him!? I bet you he will pick up all his teeth on the pavement!

[RandomnesssYt]
